The best carrier aroundMar 26, 2009
By Erica Stein
"elspe"
This is absolutely the best carrier I have found. In fact, this is the second one I bought. I started with the Baby Bjorn and it started hurting my back and my daughter outgrew it by the time she 5-6 months old. I tried the Infantino side carrier, and I couldn't wear it for more than half an hour before it started hurting. So I did my research and found the Ergo, and couldn't be happier. My daughter flew back and forth to Dallas (2 planes each way) in the Ergo and was able to take a bottle, sleep and play happily the whole time. We just went to Disney and I wore my daughter all day. She was happy and so was I, it was easy to get her out when we thought she would want to face front, and just as easy to get her back in. After 4 days on wearing my 18 lb daughter I had no back pain at all. I can put her on my side and make dinner when she's fussy, and it's the only place she'll sleep when she's out and about.

Better than Snugli or Bjorn..Jul 29, 2009
By Y. R. Wu
"The will to win is nothing without the will to prepare - Juma Ikangaa"
We have a Baby Bjorn, a Snugli and an Ergo Baby. The Ergo Baby is the one we use, the other two we donated to the salvation army. We also had 2 slings (both donated from friends)
The big advantage the Ergo has is the waist strap. This shifts a significant amount of weight to your hips. Otherwise the entire weight is held on your shoulders, which gets to be quite uncomfortable after a while.
By putting the weight on your hips, the Ergo Baby makes it possible to carry a child who weighs more and for a longer period of time. I wish we'd found this with our first child, as it would have saved us money (for the other ones we bought) and our aching backs!!!!
There's also a couple of pockets - one with a zipper. Good place to put your cell phone, wallet, etc. The Snugli had a pocket with snap, while the Bjorn had none. The Ergo is not as sleek and attractive as our navy blue Bjorn. Our Ergo was a gift and it came in a pale turquoise. I think the black Ergo looks better, but it's still not as sleek and stylish as the Baby Bjorn. Frankly, after a few weeks of a newborn crying at all hours, looking hip comes way down the list after comfort, convenience and sleep.... Just saying...
The only complaint would be that it takes some practice to use the side carry and rear carry positions. The DVD does show how it's done, but it really helps to have someone who is familiar with the process or have someone spotting you the first time you use it in these positions.

Essential carrier; great fabricSep 13, 2009
By C.P.
Like many of the other reviewers, I went through numerous carriers (2 slings, baby bjorn, and lascal) before I found the Ergo Baby Carrier. It is an essential baby item. If I could only keep one baby product, this would be it. Here is why I like it so much:
Comfort Level: The Ergo is amazingly comfortable. I am 5'1", 110 lbs and baby is 10 months, 28 inches, 21 lbs. The other carriers all caused back or shoulder pain that made it impossible for me to wear them for very long. (I will say that a sling is useful to have for a newborn. But once baby gains a little weight, the sling really kills your shoulder.) I use the Ergo every weekday to take baby to and from daycare. And on the weekends, I can wear her for hours while I run errands and tidy up the house. I have narrow hips, and initially I experienced some lower-back pain with prolonger wear; however, I realized that I was wearing the waist strap too high. Once I positioned the waist strap a little lower, the lower-back pain disappeared. The carrier does make my pants slide down, which gives me a saggy-butt look that is not flattering. But I found that if I wear mom jeans and a longer length shirt, then it looks okay. My husband also really likes the Ergo. We have no problem adjusting it to go from me to him, and he is 6'2".
Fabric Quality: The brown organic fabric is high quality. It looks nice (not cheap) and doesn't show lint or cat hair. It is a little faded looking, which I think is standard for organic products, but it still has a rich brown color. Baby had a leaky pee diaper one day while she was in it, and it cleaned up really well with a hand washing. By the way, there is a zippered pocket on the front of the carrier. It is pretty spacious--I can get my keys, iphone, credit cards, and a small pack of tissues in there.
Baby Comfort: Baby really loves being in this carrier, which has greatly improved my quality of life. If she is cranky, I can put her in the carrier and walk her around, and she either perks up or falls asleep.
Accessories: I highly recommend getting the sucking pads. The first thing baby did when I put her in the carrier was suck on the straps. I also purchased the blue backpack, which looks great with the brown carrier. The backpack is great because it is lightweight so you can throw some diapers, wipes, etc. in there without weighing yourself down. On weekends, I put baby in the carrier and throw the backpack on, and then walk about a mile to the park without any trouble.
Very highly recommend. This is my new favorite present to give moms-to-be.

The Best Baby Carrier Out There!May 26, 2009
By J. Mcdermott
Look no further
this is the only baby carrier you will ever need, it is well worth the money!
no matter how heavy your baby gets this carrier somehow distributes the weight just right, so it's not a strain on your back or neck...if you feel a strain anywhere, it's just a matter of adjusting the straps and you're good to go!
you can use this carrier to wear your baby in your side, back or front...
and it has a built in pocket for your keys, a pacifier, your wallet, whatever!
I wear it in the market and put my wallet and shopping list and coupons in the pocket and I leave my purse at home!
the fabric is very soft.
When I wear my baby in this carrier it is a given my baby will fall asleep and I just pull up the hood and he's very comfortable!
and if I need to transfer him to his crib, it's really easy to do that with this carrier as well....it comes with a helpful dvd that shows you how to use it in all the different ways...
of all the baby gear I have
I would not trade my ergo baby carrier for anything!

 Ergo v BecoMar 18, 2010
By Fidel Fogg
I bought an Ergo carrier but find it far too bulky. I now use a Beco Butterfly and it is much better. I am fairly small (5'2) and petite so the Ergo shoulder straps are too wide apart and too bulky. Also, in order to carry a small baby you have to buy the separate insert and carrying all these things around is not practical.
